Wow, awesome! And it's a Saturday, can't get much better. :)

If I'm reading this correctly, two of the departures are before the first arrival, so is there a ferry flight? It was the same with JetBlue when they started LGA - their first flight was a departure.

Yes, it's not that often we get new service starting on a weekend. Saves on the vac/sick days, yippee!

I dont show any Friday night inbound service with the E70 so I would assume it's ferried in.

Wow, we were just discussing these planes in another thread. This is awesome.

these airplanes look great in the new DL colors. 4 of them were painted in the scheme and are currently sitting in KIND, i saw them there when i was doing my hand-on trianing on the airplane. the airplane i worked on was actually in DL colors. wish i had a cam...

What a relief! It gets pretty boring watching the regular Comair ERJs and CRJs coming in. This should make for a change!
